1/2 cup gruyere cheese diced or shredded
1/2 cup Mexican blend cheese shredded
1 teaspoon Parisien herb blend if you can't find this, you can use basil or tarragon, or a combo
8 large eggs
1.5 tablespoon milk or water
1 cup cooked ham diced (can substitute other meat if desired, sausage, bacon, etc)

Heat oil and butter in a stovetop pan.
3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
Add hash browns and season with salt and pepper to taste. Flip once. Wait for them to be crispy and brown on one side, and then flip.
2-3 cups shredded hash browns

Heat oil and butter in a large skillet.
1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter
Add apple and onion to the pan and saute until tender.
1 Granny Smith apple, 1 sweet yellow onion

Mix together eggs, cheeses, herbs, milk, and ham in a separate bowl.
1/2 cup gruyere cheese, 1/2 cup Mexican blend cheese, 1 teaspoon Parisien herb blend, 8 large eggs, 1.5 tablespoon milk, 1 cup cooked ham
Sprinkle apple and onion mixture over hashbrowns, once both sides of potato are browned
Pour egg mixture over all, then sprinkle with a small amount of salt and pepper to taste (a little goes a long way).
Bake at 400 degrees F, covered, for 12-25 minutes, until eggs are set. (This can vary with the type of pan. Cover with a glass lid to steam the eggs and bake the dish quicker. If you don't have an oven-safe frying pan, use a 9x13-inch casserole dish, cover with foil, and cook slightly longer.)
remove from oven and serve!
